ISI KANDUNGAN ISI KANDUNGAN A Letter To A Friend Dear Maddy, I really understand what you’re going through; trying to reduce your weight and your mother’s advice about having a balanced diet. Here are some solution for you to solve the problem. First and foremost, you have to reduce your sugar intake in your food. If you take too much of sugar, the sugar level in your blood will increase. Due to this, your pancreas will secrete insulin which is what your body uses to convert it into chemical energy. As a result, the insulin will reduce your blood sugar level too much. Therefore, you can gain weight rapidly. To avoid this, you have to really reduce your sugar intake in your meal.Furthermore, you can also work as a part time worker at the gym where you can work out as well. In addition, you have to take your meals on time. Taking your meal as soon as possible will definitely help you to maintain your body weight and it will also lead you to a healthier lifestyle. Last but not least, you can seek for a dietician’s advice as well. They can design your meal plans accordingly to improve your diet. That’s all,mate. I really hope that I have been of some help to you. From, Sanjeevraj ( 4 STEM A ) 39
ISI KANDUNGAN ISI KANDUNGAN A BOOK REVIEW BY IMAN NUR ATIQAH BT IZHAM HAZIZI ( 1A1 ) Hello there! Allow me to give you a review of a book called “Robots”. The author of this book is Melissa Stewart. This book consists of 48 pages which include2 pages of the glossary. This book has 12 topics. There are many types of robots. This book tells you about the world’s first robot in 1961. In this book, you can find 7 cool robots. They are NAO bots, Inkha, Robolobster, robotic waiter HRP-4 and lastly the Robo Tuna. Me, I really love the robotic waiter. Have you ever seen a robotic waiter? If you haven’t, head straight to the Subaidah restaurant. You will see the robotic waiter there. Back to the book! I rate this book 10/10 and I really recommend it for all ages. You will not be disappointed!! ISI KANDUNGAN ISI KANDUNGAN MONEY EXPENDITURE BY NURSYAZWANI ( 1A1 ) Today, I would like to share with you my money expenditure for a week. For your information, my average weekly allowance is about RM25 –RM30. To begin with, it has become my routine to spend on mobile and electronic items because every ten days, I must spend RM5 to keep my internet plan active. Other than that, I usually spend on sweets. My choice of sweets is pricey but no worries, I am inclined to keep it within my budget. I also love to pamper myself by shopping for clothes, wellness and beauty products like face mask and lip balm. Sometimes, I do spend on snacks. On school days, I usually do not spend money on food during recess as I tend to bring my own lunch from home. As a result, my average expenditure is between RM15 – Rm 23. Hence it will take a while for me to save money but I am used to it now. To conclude, I usually save up to RM10 a week. 40
ISI KANDUNGAN ISI KANDUNGAN MONEY BY MUHAMMAD ASYRAN BIN MOHD AZMAN (2A1 ) Money is a basic necessity in life. Without it, we will surely be unable to live this life comfortably. In modern times, where there is growth and civilization, we need money because prices are increasing. Previously, there was a system called the barter trade. Through this system, people were allowed to exchange goods for getting goods. However, these days, times have changed. Only money is needed to buy everything. So, money plays a very important role in every part of our lives. ISI KANDUNGAN ISI KANDUNGAN OWN YOUR LIFE BY BALQIS FEROZ (4 STEM B) Own Your Life! Sounds interesting! But how do you own your life? To own your life means you are responsible for every choice, every little mistake, and of course every single step that you contemplate in your life. The way to take ownership of your life is to live your life based on purpose, principles, and passion. A few of us might think that focusing entirely on your purpose, your principles, and your passions sounds selfish because you are only thinking about yourself. Honestly, that doesn't sound bad at all. When individuals are living their best lives, they are becoming their best selves. Generally speaking, satisfied people do better things and make things better. Sometimes you have to do things that you do not enjoy because it is necessary for survival, for life. If we want to differentiate between when to follow the flow and when to go against the flow, we must live our lives based on our purpose, passion, and principles. Stop yearning to be accepted and to be included socially! Deciding to go against the flow is scary because we are afraid to choose. What if we choose wrongly? What if we fail and ruin our future? To me, it depends on your perspective. What would you see? If you see it as a failure, you will feel like you have failed yourself. But what if you take that as a life lesson? Then you will still feel like you have succeeded. Life goes on! The journey moves forward. Push that goal forward. It has never been a race, remembers? I understand that the thought of being rejected by the people you love once you have failed them is enough to be haunting. How we face our own fear is totally our choice. Whatever it may be, we have to confront that fear. Yes, I know it is scary, but it is not impossible. Your life is a journey, and you are the traveler. Just because someone's version of life looks different from yours doesn't mean you are on the wrong track. Own your life! You only live once, so live your life to the fullest and enjoy your journey. 41
ISI KANDUNGAN ISI KANDUNGAN Tourist Attractions in Malaysia By Dalili binti Yusri ( 3A1 ) Traveling adds flavor to life. It can actually spice up our lives! Many enjoyable attractions in Malaysia are inexpensive or even free. That is why tourists love visiting Malaysia. Expectations exist when one starts thinking of his or her holiday. Don’t you agree? Tourist destinations with great characteristics are vital for individual attraction. Architecture, gourmet food, and cultural diversity can be attractions for travelers. With this in mind, numerous wonderful hidden gems in Malaysia are well worth exploring. There are a lot of fascinating places in Malaysia. Some top tourist destinations in Malaysia include Sabah and Langkawi Island. Sabah is famed for its beautiful landscapes and unique cultures. One of my friends from Sabah recommended me a place to visit, namely Desa Cattle Dairy Farm. With a breathtaking view of the majestic Mount Kinabalu, overlooking verdant pastures, it’s no wonder it’s named ‘The Little New Zealand’ of Sabah. Apart from that, further north is the historical island of Langkawi Island. The bestknown legend of Langkawi is “The Legend Of Mahsuri.” Mahsuri, a pretty maiden, was killed, and white blood came out from her wound, denoting her innocence. Langkawi is not only about history, but it prides itself on the main attractions like the Langkawi Sky Cab, also known as the Langkawi Cable Car Ride. Plus, Langkawi is a ‘haven’ for chocolate lovers because chocolates are very cheap and affordable here. You can’t just leave this island without buying some chocolates. It’s a mustbuy! You won’t regret hunting for them . Last but not least, getting around Malaysia is easy, as bus and rail service is widely available here. Furthermore, most Malaysians speak English, so communication is not a problem. There are hundreds of beautiful places to enjoy, admire, relax and recharge. So, make Malaysia your next holiday destination! By Dalili binti Yusri ( 3A1 ) 42
ISI KANDUNGAN ISI KANDUNGAN AN EMAIL TO A FRIEND BY FATIN SAJIEDAH BINTI JAMALUDDIN (PRA U 2USM) From: Fatin Subject: Adventure Club's Trip to Cameron Highlands Hello Ain, How are you? I hope you are recovering quickly and as fit as a fiddle now. I felt crestfallen when you couldn’t join our Adventure Club’s trip to Cameron Highlands. The trip was an exciting experience for me. The weather was very cold and chilly. For your information, Cameron Highlands is a popular hilly region because it offers pleasant cool temperatures due to its high altitude. The place that I enjoyed visiting the most was the BOH Tea Plantation in Tanah Rata. It is because there were amazing landscapes and stunning panoramic views. Besides, the tea gardens were truly picturesque because I took some photographs with my friends. While watching the panoramas, I enjoyed a cup of hot-steaming tea and some delicious scones. Furthermore, the second place that I visited was the Lavender Garden. It was an opportunity for us to admire vibrant colorful flowers. There was a shop that sold lavender ice - cream and also strawberry ice - cream. I loved the taste of the soft ice - cream because it was mouth-watering. Your father was correct in saying that Cameron Highlands is famous for its steamboat. It is because the food here is very fresh and tastes so good. I feel blue that I couldn't go because my schedule was packed. I also heard that the Adventure Club is planning another trip soon. I think they will be going to Pangkor Island next month. Let’s make memories. Really hoping that you will be able to join me for that trip. Have a nice day! Fatin 43
ISI KANDUNGAN ISI KANDUNGAN HOMEWORK IS ESSENTIAL FOR STUDENTS BY NUR AIN SYUHADA BINTI ZULFREE (PRA-U 2 UKM) As a student, doing homework can give many benefits as it develops many skills in oneself. Even though students do not like doing homework, it is necessary for the students. I agree that homework is necessary for students because it helps them learn how to solve problems, develop time management skills and increase their self-esteem, especially for examinations. First and foremost, homework can help students to learn how to solve problems. When the teacher gives homework with many questions, we need to think fast to answer the questions. The more difficult the questions are, the harder we need to think. This can make our brains think of different types of ways to solve the questions. For example, when a student answers a math question, he or she will try to think of a suitable solution to get the right answer after a learning session in school. Hence without a doubt, homework can help students learn how to solve problems, making them smarter. Students can also develop their time management skills while doing homework. Different subjects have different types of answer schemes. This is why students should be aware of their time management when doing homework. For instance, if students set a certain time period when doing homework, they will improve their mental intelligence to do a job on time, especially when the teacher gives a deadline to submit the assignment. Homework can also make students be more punctual in finishing their tasks. Students should not do their work at the eleventh hour if they do not want to face the music. Thus, homework can develop students' time management skills, making them more disciplined. Moreover, homework can also increase students’ confidence, especially during examinations. The more homework the teachers give, the student practice many different questions. When the student has done many types of questions, they will be ready to face the examination. Some students might think homework is a burden to do, especially during the holidays but at the same time, it improves their knowledge in something they had never expected. An example is when the students answer the exam questions. No matter how hard the questions are, they know how to give a suitable answer. As a result, they can pass the examination with flying colors. Therefore, homework can also increase the student’s confidence. In conclusion, even if the students are too lazy to do their homework, they have to think of the outcome of doing homework. So they would not have negative perspectives all the time about homework. Many benefits can be reaped when doing homework. This is why homework is essential for students. 44
ISI KANDUNGAN ISI KANDUNGAN LISTEN VERSUS HANDLE BY: MAISARAH MOHD GHAZALI [ 5 STEM A ] I have a problem. You have a problem. We have a problem. Everyone on this planet has problems. When we have problems or difficulties in our life, naturally asnormal human beings, we would want to get rid of those tensions. Most likely, we’ll want to seek someone; sometimes we skip that act and just keep it to ourselves. It’s our nature to have the eagerness to seek help. On the other hand, you just might not know what to do, how to react or how to respond when someone chooses to rant to you. Whenever our friends, our family members or our loved ones rant to us on something that gave them so much tension, I’m sure we are eager to give them “solution”, as we always have the thought that they expect us to completely pull them out from the frustrating situation immediately. I hate to admit it but I did have that mentality whenever I was chosen by someone to talk to; and still do sometimes. I used to think hard for the best so-called “solution” I can come up with as soon as they share with me what’s letting them down. As if I’m the one who knows everything, but I end up with some lame ideas instead. After they have left, then only I realize “Oh! I would be annoyedif I were in her shoes listening to my own lame advice”. For example, have you ever been in a situation where those who seek for your help and attention, came up to you complaining, expressing their sadness because they got rejected for scholarship and other problems, and then there’s you coming up with an idea “hey, don’t be sad”. What do you expect from them? They would be “oh, what a great idea. Don’t be sad. Why didn’t I think of it?” Have you ever been in that sort of situation? Me? Yes, as I was the one who gave that “wonderful advice”. I had been dwelling on that sense of guilt and self-reproach for the rest of the week. Well, lesson learned after growing up considering both perspective as the one who has problem and the one who listens. As humans, we have to admit that we don’t know every single thing in this world. We only live a shortlife as an individual. And that’s obviously impossible for us to have the best solution for every single problem that exists. That’s why when people open up to you, you have the choice to either be a handler or be a good listener; accordingto your capability at the moment.How about we start with being a listener? Well, it might be the easiest since you don’t have to squeeze your brain to come up with those amazing effective ideas or solutions. However to be a good listener, you must let them feel your presence. Pay your full attention to them. To be a good listener is not just by listening alone. Give them some response to let them know that you’re trying to be in their shoes, trying to look at things from their perspective and let them know that their feelings are valued and appreciated. Now, let’s say that you have been in a similar situation or someone had told you how they handled the situation. That might be a blessing for your friends, family members or whoever seeks your help. Of course you can directly tell them what to do, how to do it, why it happens, or at least an idea on what you would do if you were them. However, the truth can be really irritating. The solution can be hard to work with since those who seek help are still inthe most vulnerable state. They might get mad, they might get even sadder, things could be worse. As far as I’m concerned, we should normalize asking “do you want comfort or solution?” At least we know how to handle them properly accordingto their currentneed. 45
ISI KANDUNGAN ISI KANDUNGAN TRAGEDIES CAN BE PREVENTED. BY: Nur Hidayah Binti Mohd Isa (Pra-U 2UKM) There are many tragedies that are happening around us. It may take many lives including our loved ones. Some examples of tragedies that may happen are accidents, kidnapping and others. People often say that tragedies can be prevented. I partially agree with this statement. I strongly believe tragedies can be prevented by getting enough rest before driving and be more careful. However, some tragedies happen because of other people. So, we cannot fully prevent the tragedies from happening. Firstly, tragedies can be prevented by getting enough rest especially before driving. Some tragedies especially road accidents happen when the drivers feel sleepy or tired while driving. They might not have enough rest due to overload of work or do not have proper hours of sleep. Most accidents happen at night. This might be due to micro sleep while driving. For example, most accidents happen during festivals like Hari Raya or Chinese New Year. People have long hours of journey and have to drive for many hours. They do not stop at the rest areas like the RnR and continue driving eventhough they are tired. Thus, indirectly some of these tragedies like accidents can be prevented by getting enough rest. Next, tragedies can also be prevented by being more careful. This is especially for women or mothers. We can avoid tragedies like kidnapping or murder from happening. For example, there was a case a few years ago in Malaysia, where Nurul Nadhirah was reported missing after her mother let her go to a nearby shop to buy instant noodles and eggs.Surprisingly, she was 5 years old when the tragedy happened and she was alone at that time. The poor girl was kidnapped and murdered! Her mother thought when the shop was nearby their house, it was safe to let her child go there alone. Hence, tragedy can be prevented if we are more careful because we do not know what will happen in the future, as the saying goes, it is no use crying over spilt milk! Thirdly, some of tragedies cannot be prevented by ourselves because it may be caused by other people. For example, the tragedy of Malaysian Airlines (MAS) MH17 that was shot down by an air missile. It was shot by the Ukraine army near the towns of Torez and Snizhe. Nobody thought that the crash would happen and it could not be avoided because it was such an unexpected tragedy that will be remembered. Therefore, the crash of MH17 became a tragedy that could not be prevented by ourselves because it happened due to other people and thus, it was out of our control. In conclusion, some tragedies can be prevented but not all. We must be aware of what is happening around us. It is because if we are aware of our surrounding, we can avoid the tragedy from happening as the saying goes “better to be safe than sorry”. 46
